社交媒体加剧年轻人自卑

The Sunday Times spoke to 23 people including social workers, counselors, psychologists and parents, who said the impact of social media on the mental health of young people in Singapore is concerning. And not just in terms of cyber bullying.

《星期日泰晤士报》采访了包括社会工作者、咨询师、心理学家和学生家长在内的23人，他们表示，社交媒体对新加坡年轻人心理健康的影响令人担忧，且这种影响不仅仅是网络欺凌。

Cho Ming Xiu, founder and executive director of mental advocacy non-profit Campus PSY, said most young people find it difficult not to check on their friends on social media and compare their lives. He added: "You can't just do well in your studies. You have to be an all-arounder - you have to secure a good internship at a reputable company."

新加坡心理健康倡导非营利组织"校园PSY"的创始人兼执行董事赵明秀表示，大多数年轻人发现，自己很难不在社交媒体上查看朋友的消息，还会将其与自己的生活进行对比。"你不能只在学习上取得好成绩，你必须是一个多面手，比如在一家大公司实习。"

Psychologists say the deluge of attractive posts can trigger feelings of inferiority or inadequacy, especially among young people with less experience to distinguish the social media world from real life.

心理学家说，大量展现个人优异面的帖子会引发年轻人的自卑感或不称职感，尤其是对那些无法将社交媒体世界与现实生活区分开来的年轻人。
